Dragon Tamer

Chapter 794: Chapter 798: Achievements of the Deities

“Swoosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The Wings of Death Scythe finally descended!

Chang Li’s eyes widened as the blade swung down across his face, bisecting him with stunning precision and perfection!

His left eye grew even wider with horror as the left half of his body slowly toppled to the ground, while his right eye filled with disbelief as the right half rolled off the cliff. Blood spurted from both halves, thick and excessive…

Not a single blade of grass around him was touched, nor was the unlucky breeze that happened to pass by thrown into disarray. The deathly scythe that blotted out the sky aimed only for Chang Li. As a being at the God Son Level, he fled far enough, yet he still could not escape this chop!

The Soul Lock Slash was inescapable.

The Yama Dragon retracted its Sickle Wing, turning back to glance at Zhu Minglang.

It took Zhu Minglang quite some time to come back to his senses!

What power!!!

It was an outrageous level of strength!!!

His prey had fled to the ends of the earth, yet he was still cleaved in one strike!!!

Zhu Minglang suddenly felt grateful that when he faced the Yama Dragon, he had chosen to burrow into the earth rather than foolishly flee into the distance. Otherwise, he would have been the one lying decapitated!

The soul bead of a God Son Level cannot go to waste. With the marks left by the Yama Dragon’s wing slash and the nether fire, Zhu Minglang had enhanced his Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing ability, allowing him to see Chang Li’s lingering soul drift toward him from afar. With a slight pull, it coalesced into a divine-grade soul bead in his palm!

Just after collecting a divine-grade soul bead, the Sword Spirit Dragon returned from another direction. Its sword body was spotless, and Zhu Minglang instinctively used Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing in the direction from which the Sword Spirit Dragon had come. Indeed, strands of soul essence floated over, eventually forming another divine-grade soul bead of inferior quality.

This inferior divine-grade soul bead wasn’t even as good as some quasi-god level soul beads. Apparently, that old daoist had not refined his abilities or his cultivation base for many years, so his strength was more or less on par with that of a quasi-god.

With the death of the two divine leaders of the Hongtian Peak and Black Heaven Peak, all those God’s people, God’s Descendants, and servants within the Daoist temple fell to their knees on the ground, daring not to resist any further.

They now fully realized that the person who came was a true deity. Those of Lower God Organization who had been the lackeys of false gods were no match for their opponent!

Zhu Minglang saw no need for a massacre, as not all practitioners of Extreme Desire were so crazed and bloodthirsty. Flaunting Heaven Peak needed to be cleansed and chastised.

People kneeled all around, not just from Hongtian Peak and Black Heaven Peak, but also from the cities beneath the peaks; countless individuals knelt. At this moment, the Punishing Spirit Messenger began to summon thunderclouds, and flashes of lightning that lit up the entire world cast a divine glow on Zhu Minglang, filling those mortals with sincere fear and trepidation!

Punishment!

This was the divine punishment for Hongtian Peak and Black Heaven Peak!

Their actions had enraged the heavens, which was why a deity was sent to punish them!

…

Zhu Minglang stood at the peak of the shattered mountain, looking up at a special star in the night sky, one that shone near the magnificent Seven Stars of the North Dipper, once dazzling and revered by countless living beings.

“I’m causing such a commotion, are you not going to show yourself??” Zhu Minglang asked the star that represented the Flaunting God.

The star showed no response, continuing to revolve around the Seven Stars of the North Dipper, shining with an unchanging light.

Perhaps the Flaunting God was unaware, or maybe he simply didn’t care about his lower organization; at the very least, he seemed indifferent to the life and death of Hongtian Peak and Black Heaven Peak.

Without the appearance of the Flaunting Star God, not even to confront Zhu Minglang.

He didn’t show up, and Zhu Minglang couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time here.

Supporting the weakened Sect Master Nie Xiaoxuan of the Crane Frost Sect, Zhu Minglang led the remaining hundred young disciples away from Hongtian Peak. As for those implicated and captured at the time, they were mostly released. With both peak masters chopped down, didn’t the people below understand the sins they had committed?

No sooner had they descended the mountain than Zhu Minglang discovered that Bai Qi and Little Fluorescence Dragon had disappeared. Not long ago, the two had been yawning and watching the spectacle on the peak, and when they realized they wouldn’t be fighting, they had wandered off somewhere on the mountain.

Using a mental connection to search for them, Bai Qi and Little Fluorescence Dragon soon returned, shoulder to shoulder, with mischievous expressions on their little faces.

“What have you two been up to?” Zhu Minglang asked.

Bai Qi waved his plump paws, using claw language and dragon language to indicate that Little Fairy Fluorescence Dragon had found some shiny objects and they had taken some back.

As he said this, Bai Qi began to wag his tail, demonstrating Universe Magic to empty out the shiny objects he had stashed in the space of Universe into the open.

“Clatter clatter clatter clatter!!!!!!!!”

It felt like a small golden mountain had collapsed. Zhu Minglang saw the abundance of gold, silver, and jewels, as well as countless luxurious star stones and moon crystals, enough to cover a small grassy area at his feet. Moreover, as Bai Qi continued to wag his tail, even more items kept pouring out!

Zhu Minglang was dumbfounded!

The two scoundrels had gone and pillaged someone’s treasure vault!!!

With a feeble look, Nie Xiaoxuan of the Crane Frost Sect lifted her head to survey the spilled wealth, then looked at Zhu Minglang…

She knew Zhu Minglang was in need of money; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to take on a bounty hunting grievance.

Nie Xiaoxuan’s eyes filled with skepticism.

She was starting to suspect that the man’s destruction of Hongtian Peak and Black Heaven Peak was not purely in the name of justice.

“Ahem…” Zhu Minglang’s face turned red, extremely embarrassed.

The grand image they had so painstakingly raised was completely destroyed by these two mischievous little fellows.

Even if you really did the deed, you two should have waited until no one was around to pour it out!

So many treasures, they must be worth at least a billion gold, in any case… well done!!

…

“This matter started because of us, and even if we fled to a distant place, we would ultimately still be unable to evade the inquisition of the other six peaks. Now that our vengeance is served, we shall return to the sect and end our own lives before the graves of everyone…” Nie Xiaoxuan had already made this decision.

To no longer endure torment was already a kind of relief.

“What about them, they are still young,” Zhu Minglang pointed to the hundred-odd people following behind him.

Despite having suffered inhuman torture and abuse, there was still a light in their eyes, and some of them still wanted to live, to gnaw at this tough fate…

“I…I…I don’t know either,” Nie Xiaoxuan didn’t know how to answer; most of these young people from Bai Sang Country had been enslaved before she brought them to the sect.

“Let me give you a small suggestion, whether or not you take it is up to you. Head towards the Four Desolate Regions, enter the Supreme Court, to a place called Ancestral Dragon City-State. With your ability to cultivate Divine Silkworm, you shouldn’t worry about being unable to survive,” Zhu Minglang said.

“There is…” A glint of light appeared in Nie Xiaoxuan’s eyes.

“Yes, it’s my domain. It is one civilization level behind Tianshu and is at a stage in need of catching up and development; it is also in need of people like you who possess the ability to cultivate Divine Silkworm. There, find someone called Zhu Heavenly Officer, and he will arrange for your settlement,” Zhu Minglang said.

Dragon-binding Divine Silkworm Silk.

This thing was simply a Divine Artifact for dragon taming.

Zhu Minglang really didn’t want such a good thing to just disappear, so he also planned to give the remaining members of Crane Frost Sect a way to survive.

Hongtian Peak and Black Heaven Peak were already half-devastated, they had no time to plunder the Supreme Court, and, for now, it was relatively safe. Allowing these people from Crane Frost Sect to start anew in Li Chuan was also a decent conclusion for them.

Nie Xiaoxuan seemed to see hope in her eyes as well.

They were God Slayers, spurned and loathed by the Deities, even subject to the gods’ orders for their execution, less than even the forsaken. Such people could not reside or survive in Tianshu, so Nie Xiaoxuan did not want to live, knowing that the remaining members of Crane Frost Sect would also suffer if alive.

But if they could reach another land, still under the protection of a different deity, their fate would be entirely different.

Under the protection of this male deity, they were no longer forsaken, could live with dignity, need not worry about the night, and could live properly.

“The road is yours to walk; I cannot escort you. Take care,” Zhu Minglang said.

“We still have the strength to do that…” Nie Xiaoxuan said.

“Take care.”

“You take care too,” Nie Xiaoxuan watched as Zhu Minglang left.

Only when Zhu Minglang vanished from her line of sight did Nie Xiaoxuan’s expression change slightly; it was as if a burden was lifted, and she was reborn.

She lowered her head, opened her palms, and in her rotting, dirty palms she pinched a half-burnt piece of paper with two characters written on it.

“Fu Chen…” Nie Xiaoxuan quietly read out loud.

After a while, she raised her head to look up at the sky and vaguely saw a hidden star in the brightly moonlit sky dome…

Her gaze shifted from lost to firm: from now on, this would be her faith.

…

…

Zhu Minglang returned to City of Faith, but news traveled incredibly fast, and the entire city erupted in a frenzy, wildly discussing the news of Flaunting Heaven Peak being trampled.

The legends were already circulating among the people…

It seemed that the reputation and prestige of a god would also rise accordingly and would likely gain a significant number of believers.

“See if there is a wisp of purple qi above your head,” Mr. Jinli inquired.

Zhu Minglang looked up in confusion and, to his surprise, found that there was indeed a clump of purple qi above his head.

“What is this!” Zhu Minglang exclaimed.

“Something akin to virtue and reward. Think about it: those cultivators of Extreme Desire who did something that fulfilled their own desires would see their cultivation base rise. As a Patrol God, by eliminating those gods acting as a tiger’s accomplices, you naturally receive the appropriate divine labor. Some deities rely on faith—the more believers, the stronger their power—while others rely on offerings. Special offerings could make them omnipotent. But you, most probably, accumulate merit by slaying gods…” Mr. Jinli said.

“So you’re saying this purple qi above my head will transform into my virtue, and eventually reward me in various unexpected windfalls; do Bai Qi’s and Little Fluorescence Dragon’s actions count as a reward from heaven?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Definitely not, they stole it outright, and that would reduce your moral virtue.”

“Ah?”

“But there’s no harm done. Stealing at most cuts a billion gold of moral virtue; they stole nearly a billion gold worth of things, you’re making a killing!” Mr. Jinli said.

“So that means, aside from this one, I’ll have a great windfall coming my way!” Zhu Minglang felt happiness rushing towards him!!
